I listened to it, and now you have to.
Coming at you from Wall Street United Church in Ontario, Canada, here is the hottest new track from the pervy idolatrous groomers over at the United Church of Canada, entitled "Quirky, Queer, and Wonderful."
(Sorry in advance.)
Here are the bonkers lyrics to this gem.
Quirky, Queer, and wonderful,
Distinct, unique, and odd...
All of our humanity
Reveals the face of God
No 'normal' can encompass
Or comprehend the range
Of all the kinds of people
That God considers strange!
From Jesus we learn riddles;
He said the last are first,
He tweaked received religion
With roles that he reversed.
This song comes from a new collection called "Songs for the Holy Other," which introduces its collection with this nightmarish word salad:
In our society and in our churches, we continue to build walls marking 'out' and 'in'. We continue to mark boundaries of 'us' and 'them', of 'normal' and 'other'. Songs for the Holy Other aims to provide congregations working to dismantle these walls with a toolbox of hymns by and for those who identify as members of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, pansexual, transgender, nonbinary, queer, questioning, intersex, asexual, romantic, two-spirit, and other sexual/gender minority (LGBTQIA2S+) community and their allies. For many members of the LGBTQIA2S+ community, assimilation is not an option; we continue to be othered for our identities, relationship-styles, dis/abilities, race, economic status, and more. The title, Songs for the Holy Other, is a selfconscious claiming of otherness as holy and beloved of God. We who have been labeled as 'wholly other' are claiming our holiness, and reclaiming our otherness as a prophetic witness to the church.
The good news? Based on the demographics of this church, it seems like it will disappear in the next 10 years.
Sorry for making you watch this. Just figured you should know about it ...
